| Title | The Strategic Role Of Green Hydrogen In Germany's International Energy Policy: A South African Case Study |
| Summary | Green hydrogen is widely acknowledged to be a driver of global decarbonization in industrial processes. Globally, countries are positioning themselves on the demand and supply side of the emerging value chain. With the German recognition for large-scale market development and import dependence, this thesis explores how green hydrogen is driving German-South African Energy Relations and its implications for the “International Energiewende” as a soft power resource (Quitzow and Thielges 2020). With the help of six expert interviews, I analyze how the case of South Africa illustrates the dilemma of pursuing geostrategic goals of import security and market development while simultaneously promoting climate change mitigating efforts in existing energy frameworks. |
